Israeli spy Pollard to be released on parole Nov 21: lawyers

Jonathan Pollard, a former US Navy intelligence analyst convicted of spying for Israel, will be released on parole November 21 after serving 30 years in prison, his lawyers said Tuesday. “The decision to grant parole was made unanimously by the three members of the (US) Parole Commission, who make their decisions independently of any other US government agency,” the lawyers said in a statement. US Secretary of State John Kerry denied that Pollard’s release was related to the Iran nuclear agreement, which Israel has vehemently opposed.
